Ribavirin is an antiviral drug commonly used to treat viral infections such as hepatitis C and the highly lethal Hantavirus, Ebola, and Marburg infections. During the SARS outbreak in 2003, it was also tested in SARS-CoV patients. Ribavirin is a nucleoside inhibitor, or more specifically a ribosyl purine analog. Based on the biochemical principle of the drug alone, would you think ribavirin would be useful to treat dengue and herpesvirus infections?

What would be the metabolic effects of liver failure? Describe in detail. Discuss the pathways which will be affected and the effects on other organs of the body. Remember the many functions of the liver. (15)

Identify the many functions and pathways in the liver which will now be deficient. Both central metabolism and those of consequence to other tissues (5 pts).

(type answer here)

Identify materials/chemicals used by other organs/tissues which would be deficient, effects on the pathways of these other tissues and accumulation of toxins in the other tissues as a result of the liver biochemistry failure (5 pts).

(type answer here)

Overall effects on the other organs and tissues of the body (not the liver). Explain what liver failure will do to the body, what tissues most affected and pathways most affected. Answer in light of the big picture and reactions and pathways in other tissues/organs outside of the liver.
